From where can these African spears come from?
Any information at all should be very much appreciated!

Hi,

These are common in eastern Africa (Kenya, Tanzania, southern Ethiopia) and used by several different people groups such as the Maasai, Pokot, Turkana, etc.

Hi Stefan,
Its from the Maasai People, native Kenya/Tanzania,
Not sure on age or if it is a tourist piece as it looks very clean.

despite these being used by many tribes and ethnic groups , hey are really Loikop (Samburu) spears, very common, alongside the more typical Masai Lion spears.

They are very common among the many tourists which flood Kenya and bring them back.
